Why Medora, North Dakota?
Medora is a legendary Old West town of fewer than 150 residents that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every summer. It sits right at the gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, where wild bison roam free, prairie dogs pop out of the grass, and hiking trails lead to some of the most dramatic views in America. In your free time you can catch the famous Medora Musical under the stars, ride horses through the Badlands, try a Pitchfork Steak Fondue, or stargaze in skies so dark you’ll see the Milky Way. It’s small-town America at its friendliest — a place where staff become family.
About North Dakota
